We apply an excess in the event of theft of the vehicles, namely 250.00 euros per vehicle. Part of this is deducted from the paid deposit of 100.00 euros. Do you plan to use the vehicles a lot to cycle to and from locations where you then leave them? Then we recommend renting an extra chain lock.

During the booking process, you can also choose to lower the deductible to 50.00 euros per vehicle for a payment of 5.00 euros. per vehicle, per booking. We call this collective insurance. We use this contribution from all bookings to reimburse the difference in excess in the event of theft of your vehicle.

We calculate the damage amount in the event of damage to the vehicle. In addition to bicycle rental, we also sell, maintain and repair bicycles. We calculate the damage amount and settle this with your deposit, with a maximum amount of 100.00 euros per booking. We will then refund the difference between the deposit and the damage amount.
